New statutes for volunteer fire departments: Important information for citizens

The city administration recently issued new statutes for the volunteer fire brigades and a fire brigade fee statute. These regulations are of great importance for the organization and financing of fire services in the community. The notice of these statutes has been officially published and is accessible to all citizens.

In the new statutes for the volunteer fire brigades, the general conditions and tasks of the fire brigade are clearly defined. This includes both the operational readiness and the training of the volunteer firefighters. The statutes are intended to ensure that the fire department can work efficiently and that the safety of citizens is guaranteed.

Details on the fire brigade fee regulations

In addition to the statutes for the volunteer fire brigades, a fire brigade fee statute was also introduced. This regulates the financial aspects of the fire service, including the fees that may arise in the event of an operation. The fee schedule is important in order to cover the costs for the fire department and to ensure sustainable financing.

Notices of both statutes are available on the city's official website. Citizens can view the full documents to find out about the new regulations. The links to the PDF documents are here:
